Needed information and the order we need it.

The mechanic allows the runnners on base the information they need in the order they need it.
The fair or foul call is predicated upon where the ball is when it is touched. The catch no catch can be considerably later upon the fielders ability to control the ball. So with runners on, a runner may tag up and leave his base as soon as the ball is touched. I do not point fare or foul until the ball is touched or and then I wait to rule on the catch-no catch.
